Jim McElwain has been working hard in his first 99 days as CSU's football coach.

He's spent long hours compiling a staff, recruiting and implementing his strategies for making the Rams a successful program. He's also found time for some fun; McElwain and his family served as Grand Marshal for last Saturday's St. Patrick's Day parade in Fort Collins.
